Election 2011 - Margaret Curran finds out SNP GAIN Glasgow Shettleston

[Eellenne]

SNP and Alex Salmond have proved they care about Scottish people it is the only party for Scotland. Actions speak louder than words, we can see he's already made a difference and Upeter2 They used to say that about the monkey here too Tory's wasted their time even trying and Labour betrayed the Scots. but not anymore. No more monkeys stick with the SNP.

[GPOPization]

Yes, Labour only dropped 2% nationally. But that was 2% down from 2007 levels, their worst result in Scotland for over a generation (well, 2nd worst now).

[Upeter2]

As a nationalist i was as surprised how well we done in the glasgow area, There is a wee story of the "labour party monkey" Glasgow city has more or less allways been staunch working class labour voters, it was said labour could put a monkey up for election in glasgow and it would be elected no questions asked, I dont think we will be seeing that monkey again for a wee while.

[legandrydirk]

@Upeter2 They said the same about Ayrshire as well.When the SNP took Cunningham north.Away before 2011 in 2007.I know then that the tide was turning.And if it could happen down there,it could happen anywhere.And in 2011 well it just all exploded.

[Upeter2]

@legandrydirk That is what happens when a party takes its voters for granted,the labour party in scotland is in a mess big time.Alex salmond is a fox and he must be laughing at the recent tory and labour leader appointments(i know i am)

[legandrydirk]

@Upeter2 They might as well just call themself London Labour up here,and be done with it.The Glasgow counselers had to face a selection meeting.The only City in the UK to have that happen.This is how much they are in fear off the NATS.Wont be long till they are all kicked out.Like that mad coke fiend Purcell

@Upeter2 , I bet you at the next general election that the Labour canvassers are spinning the old story, 'vote labour to keep out the Tories, don't waste your vote on anyone else coz that's a wasted vote'.

I don't want that but it always the same, then England votes Tory, so we get Tory.

The Glasgow Labour voters then whinge and moan, shrug their shoulders and can't understand what went wrong. Scottish Labour tell us it will be ok next time!

It happens everytime, they learn nothing!

[Upeter2]

@chancergordy correct! for years we scots blindly voted labour,watched as england voted tory, we get a government that we didnt vote for and sit on our arses and moan moan moan. scotland WAKE UP!!!!!!!

[Jimmmeeehhh]

Look, it wasnt actually that bad for Labour. -2%. And when Scotland realised what the nat idiots are like, like we have in Wales. You will never chose the fools again!

[truefalse]

@Jimmmeeehhh Was that a failed attempt to insult the SNP? Because the SNP are on the up, up and up in Scotland and they've become part of peoples life's.

[strathpipe]

@Jimmmeeehhh Scotland is not Wales you Dim fannie

[chancergordy]

@Jimmmeeehhh , Welsh Nat's are not in the least like Scot Nat's, Welsh constitution doesn't allow independence anyway.

Are you into politics or just are you just your average Labour voter?

[chancergordy]

Maybe the Glaswegians are at last waking up to the fact that Labour treats them like shit and only uses them to prop up Westminsters Labour tally.

Come on Glasgow, show us your confidence and lets get out of this bankrupted Union.

[Upeter2]

@chancergordy couldnt have put it better myself,only thing milliband cares about is 40 odd mps from north of the border,without them he can forget it.

[jediirnbru]

Bongo

I reckon that's maggnusson saying shit!!!

BBC showing their true colours

[mesmiths]

HAPPY DAYS for Glasgow at last. Good riddance to Labour!

[segano1]

Liebour, ahem, Labour must have thought May 5th was gonna by a great night..lol

[rabwil]

Hatchet face, god,she,s ugly

[BongoBrido]

I hear it too... at 12 seconds in, someone in the background does say; "shit"... it is quite quiet, but the more you listen, you definately hear it. It kinda goes... "Oh!" @ 9 to 10 seconds, then there is a "Good Grief!" @ 11 seconds, followed by "shit" at 12 seconds!

Brilliant LMFAO :o)

[jamie0141]

If you listen closely, you can hear someone say "shit!" @0:11

[CalumGilhooly]

Great stuff. Any chance of Magret, (stairheid rammy), Curran's frothing rant being uploaded. I've heard she was her usual ungracious self in defeat and would love ot see it first hand.

As for Frank, (the clippie), McAveety being a wonderful MSP, aye, in yer dreams hen, just another NuLiebore troughing scumbag and nae loss to anyone.
